The Main Stand isn’t doing bad for a stand that’s apparently failed it’s safety test every season for the past 25 years.


I can assure you the main stand has not failed any safety certificate and group who do the checks are quite impressed with the management of the stand

Yeah that’s my point.

The way people go on you’d think a stiff breeze would knock it down. It may not be the Horiyu-ji Temple, but just being made of wood doesn’t mean it’s knackered.

The Main Stand was and is way ahead of its time, Forest Green want to build their entire new stadium of wood, where do you think they got that idea from ?
Wood is pretty much the most sustainable material on the planet.
The Main Stand , in parts, used recycled timber from the previous ground, again recycling years ahead of anyone.

It should be celebrated as the innovative structure it is, not just ripped down.

But the wooden stand would make the insurance very high surely?

So was the main stand at Bradford, just saying.

They’ve peddled a myth for years that the main stand won’t get its safety certificate, a myth probably perpetuated by the morons that used to be in charge to push their new ground agenda.

It’ll be fine, it’s wood, so what. Plenty of structures are wood. Using the Bradford fire as an example of why it’s dangerous doesn’t really prove anything. It was 1985, health and safety was very different, a discarded cigarette and a build up of rubbish was the cause, not the structure of the building being wooden. The pontoon is steel and concrete but could still go up in flames…

After the disastrous decision to furlough our groundsman, we did well to have a pitch that held up for the rest of last season. We sorted it out for this year but it seems that most clubs relay the pitch regularly and I guess when the one thing in your stadium that needs to be good isn’t, you change it.

I notice that the majority of clubs use those massive lamps now with many used from seized drugs operations

Most of the drug operations locally are still working so unlikely for us. We’d have to buy new…
